New Hopkins center to focus on Lyme disease, continuing problems
Lyme disease afflicts an estimated 300,000 annually, said Dr. John Aucott, a leading Lyme researcher tapped to direct the Lyme Disease Clinical Research Center, housed in the rheumatology division at Hopkins Bayview Medical Center.
“If you live anywhere from Maine to Virginia, it’s almost impossible for Lyme disease not to affect someone you know, someone in your family or yourself,” said Aucott, also a Hopkins internist and assistant professor of medicine.
